Businesses urged to sign up for Young People’s Career Fair

Businesses and training providers from Sutton and the south-east of England are being invited to sign up for this year’s Sutton Young People’s Careers Fair and meet potential employees.

The Fair will be held on Tuesday 29 November at the Pulse Centre in Carshalton College. It will present local businesses with a unique opportunity to meet with young people from Sutton’s schools and colleges, and from other partner organisations who work with the 15 to 24 age group.

The event will give local businesses the chance to raise awareness of their apprenticeship, training and employment opportunities, increase their business profile with young people, and network with other local employers.

There is limited capacity at the Pulse Centre. As exhibitor places are on a first-come, first-served basis, businesses are recommended to book their stand as soon as possible.

Details

The deadline for businesses to sign up for the Careers Fair is Friday 30 September. To book a stand, please contact the Sutton Education Business Partnership on 020 8770 6962, email chris.jones@sutton.gov.uk.
